The Republican party in Law
renee county was never in better
shape than is today. 1t is thorough
ly united; has first class ticket in
every respect, and not word can be
said against q single man upon it.
On the other hand the Democrats are
fighting over the only place to which
the law allows them q chance to
elect one OF their number in the Com
missiouers' Office and the friends OF
each candidate are appealing to Re-
publicaus to come to their aid. This
is Democratic quarrel and Republi-
cans should vote for their own candi,
dates, and allow the other fellows to
fight it out among themselves.-LaU-

The Oil Producers Movement.

The Oil Producers Movement.
For months the oil producers have
been organizing a movement to stop
the drill, reduce the production and
the stock Of oil on band, with view
to securing better prices. The plan
for accomplishing the desired end has
been kept secret hut now that the
work is accomplished the plan agreed
upon is made public by the pres:
The STANDARD Oil Company is the
owner Of 10, 100000 bbls Of stock
above ground. They were to set
aside 100000 bbl5. of this oil at SO
cents DBL. The producers were to
shut III one-half their production aud
drill no wells for year. Whatever
the market advances above 81 cents
each producer is to share to that
amount in the profits sccI uing from
the 5000, 600 bbls. to the extent of
the production he shuts ia. Ia other
" ords, be is 10 receive pay for oil
that he leaves in the ground, and no
doubt much more than be could get
for the same oil if he produced it.
That this movement will advance the
price of oil is reasonably certain, as
the market has already advanced l3
cents since the shutdown was first
suggested
The committee representing the
producers went to work organizing
the region, with view to stopping
the dill and shutting in onc-half of
the production. The magnitude of
the work will be apparent when it is
known that there are $4,000 produc-
ers of oil. and many OF them strong
ly prediudiced against the shutdown
movement The oil population was
organized into local lodges, every
little district having its Assem- bly,.
The plan was laid before them
Meetings were held mighty and it
was fully discussed. The meetings
were all held in secret and the men,
bers bound by an oath to not diyulge
the proceeding of the council cham
ber. At last the work was accotn-
pllshed 1t is stated that 85 per
cent. of all the production of Penn
sylvania and New York is pledged to
the movement. The shut down
takes effect on the lst of November,
and it is expected that in 90 days
from that date the stock will he
drawn upon at the rate Of of 1000,
600 bbl5 d month Err.

There is nothing clearer in this
country than the duty of every man
to vote. Here the people have the
power to determine all questions. by
their votes-and the majority rules.
But il good citizens stay away from

true sentiments of the majority, may
not be expressed. Therefore all
should go to the polls.
Next Tuesday must determine i'm.
portant questions in this State and
in this county. While the questions
themselves may not be new, yet
they have assumed a new and q Pc
culiar phase. We are no alarmist;
bot the issue has been forced upon
us and must be met. 1t is now

THE Doylestown Intell:gencer
makes the following forcible comment
on the formation of third ticket, in
the interest of the Democracy of this
State: There is this year no reason
for third party move, nothing to be
gained by the election of third ticket
and consequently no ground for an
appeal to the public in behalf of q
worthy and deserving cause. The
attitude of the Republican party, in
two State Conventions and the last
Legislature, and the work it has done
for temperance, leave no room outside
of its ranks for genuine practical tenn
perance.

Offer of a Banner.

Il
The Republican State Committee
offer q handsome silk banner to the
county which will poll on next Tues
day a Republican vote showing the
nearest relative approach to Tie
Blaine cote Of 1884.
Here is a chance for the Republi-
cans of Butler County to get a fine
silk banner. Can we take it !? We
can if we try We have the votes in
the county and if they all turn oat
to the election next Tuesday we can
take the banner. Let US try. The
offer of the flag comes to Mr.. Mates,
Chairman of the Republican County
Committee, and we are authorized to
make this announcement
The Blaine vote in Butler Co. was
5,217. The nearest approach to this,
in comparison with the vote of other
counties, will win the banner. The
terms of the offer give an equal chance
to all counties, large or small.
IT is not to be doubted that, the
result of next weeks election will
greatly affect that of next year. This
should induce every Republican in
Butler county to turn out and cast
his ballot for the State and County
tickets. This is not the year to lay
back and let things slide, and say to
yourself "we'll give the Democrats
fits next year." We should all labor
to keep Pennsylvania in the front
rank where she has 80 long stood.
Any material falling off in our ma
jority will be pointed to as an evil
dence of wavering faith, and must be
Injurious to the best interests of the
party in the great contest OF next
year. The Democrats are quietly but
activity pushing things, and are zeal
ously laboring to get out their full
vote. If Republicans want to win
by their old time majority, they
should improve every opportunity to
induce their friends to come to the
polls, and vote the ticket straight.

How Paonle Drown.

They are not so strong as men,"

they are under water. They fill their
lpnes with water and lose their senses in
half the time man does. They are hard
to save too"
81 should think they would be easier.
They can't hold on as tightly as men, can
they!"
"a woman cen cling to a man much
closer on land than man can, and the
rule holds good under water. A drowning
womaa makes a clutch for a mans hands

long as she cap. / can't account for 1t
any more than l can for other similar
actions on the part of drowning persons.
If it is a law of nature it never has been
laid down in books. l would rather save
twenty men than one muscular
woman"
"What other singular actions do you
allude to?"
81 couldn't begin to tell you in whole
day." responded the life saver. II believe
can tell just by the clutch how many
times drowning person has been down.
If it is the first time it is strong, deter

The very worst. Few swimmers can

IF he catches them, the chances are that
